STARTS EXHIBIT Dave Hagerbaumer starts the mounting
of a Sandhill crane for the diorama, "Nesting Birds of Harney
County," which was shown at
tion in Portland last year.
Harney county, is an example of the type of display which
could be placed in a museum of natural history. The bird's
real body is in front of Hagerbaumer's dog, Prince, while
the excelsior, string and wire mounting sits next to the bird
kin. . ,

PAINTS CASE Starting with an empty plywood exhibit
case 9V4 feet wide, 8 feet deep and 5 feet high), Hager
baumer begins to paint in the background for the exhibit.
A domed sky was plastered. Pictured in the background ere
the Steens mountains, almost snow covered. Hagerbaumer
then painted a meadow and marsh extending from the moun
tains and to realistically blend in with the marsh grasses and
cattails which were later placed in the case. .

EXPERIMENTS PROGRESS Each now plnnt that had to be
included in the marsh scene was somewhat of a challenge,
Hagerbaumer said. After finding that willow leaves cannot be
preserved In plastic, Hagerbaumer here experiments with
leaves cut from white paper which were later painted to
duplicate willow leaves. Painted cattails hang down from
the edge of a board by pins to dry. In the background are
tnmples of mud which are being tested for cracking.

PLAK.S MARSH With all the cattails dried and painted,
Hagerbaumer shows how to "plant a marsh." A floor of 4
lnch plywood was cut to the exact dimensions of the floor
of the case. It was then re-cut Into nine different pnrts for
easier handling. Each of these sections was then covered
with excelsior and metal lath with a further covering of
"mud" made from linoleum paste and vcrmlculite (to prevent
cracking). Finally the marsh growth was firmly embedded
in the paste and lath.

Natural History
Display To Have
Wildlife Scenes
By JIM BOYD
Mail Tribunt Staff Writer
Several Rogue Valley or
ganizations will soon find
themselves with the opportu
nity to build educational cen
ters which could be tourist
attractions, as is the Oregon
Shakespearean Festival.
One man has already sug'
gested what one of these at
tractions might be. He is Dave
Hagerbaumer, Ashland.
Hagerbuamer, an artist and
former museum' curator, has
long been interested in the
establishment of a museum of
natural history in southern
Oregon.
He hopes, either through
his individual effort or In co
operation with an organiza
tion, to carry out his plans.
But no matter, if it is Hag
erbaumer or someone else,
several opportunities for this
type of effort are now devel
oping and will mature in a
very few years.
One of the principal oppor
tunities for the establishment
of this or a similar attraction
will be found at the Lithia
park in Ashland..
Possible Museum Site
According to Eldon Scrip-
ter, chairman of the park
committee in Ashland, the
lease on the auto court at the
upper end of Lithia park
probably will be terminated
at the end of four years.
If this is done, then the
park will have a site to de
velop. This could be a mu
seum, an extension of the
park's nature trail program,
or any number of other
things.
Still another opportunity
for the development of this
sort of educational activity
might be found In Medford's
expanded park program. Al
though the basic unit of the
Medford park system may be
the school park, there is still
opportunity to plan fo(r other
parK developments.
If the park department
does some dickering, it may
be able to obtain an area of
land east of Bear creek and
north of the present Haw
thorne park site which could
be developed.
By planning now, some sort
of educational activity, for ex
ample, The Rogue Valley Art
association, which is consid
ering a permanent gallery lo
cation, might be cooperative
ly incorporated into plans for
the area.
Interested in Museum
Still another opportunity is
Southern Oregon college. Dr.
Elmo N. Stevenson, president
of the college, has Indicated
that the college is interested
In developing museum facili
ties In the future.
In each of these cases, and
probably several others
which are unknown, the great
stumbling block to the de
velopment of any sort of ed
ucational, yet tourist attrac-
ing enterprise, is the lack of
money.
Careful long range plan
ning could perhaps eliminate
much of the problem, how
ever. Hagerbaumer Is still a man
with an idea that he feels is
worth seven years of hard
work to complete. Working
on his own, he thinks that he
might be able to open a small
museum in that time.
Of course, museum work
and related subjects have oc
cupied a major part of Ha
gerbaumer's life. He was a
preparator at the Nevada
State museum and the assist
ant curator of ornithology at
the Santa Barbara museum.
Oregon Wildlife
He visualizes the museum
as having a single circular
display room at first. The
displays will depict scenes of
Oregon wildlife from the
coast to the high mountains.
Hagerbaumer originated
the idea when he came to the
valley three years ago. After
purchasing a taxidermy shop
In Ashland, ho found that he
could make as much selling
his original watcrcolors
through his New York agent
as he could from his taxider
my shop.
His paintings, which he
now turns out in a small gal
lery in Ashland, sell for
prices ranging from $25 to
several hundred dollars.

movement of the case by two fork lifts to the Harney county
exhibit section at the Oregon Centennial Exposition in Port
land. Only a few finishing touches were then left to complete
the display. The case weighs about a ton.
Portland Defense
Setup Commended
Portland - IUPD - Lewis E.
Travers, a civil defense ad
visor to NATO, Friday told
Mayor Terry D. Schrunk
that the civil defense control
organization in the Portland
area is superior to England.
Travers said attention in
England has been concen
trated, on rescue training
rather than on shelters. He
told Mayor Schrunk Portland
has "a wonderful control cen
ter." .
Travers, who is also rescue
training consultant for the
United Kingdom, provided
much of the original tech
nical advice on which United
States civil defense is based.
His English experiences dur
ing World War II contributed
much of the Information on
which the Portland center is
based.

Portland Grocer
Pistol Whipped
Portland - IUPD - A Port
land grocer who refused to
turn over cash to two holdup
men received severe head in
juries from a pistol whipping
Friday.
James Treece was hos
pitalized after one gunman
struck his head several times
with a pistol when Treece re
fused to empty the cash regis
ter at his Mississippi grocery.
The men fled with about

Treece had been successful
one month earlier when he
tried a similar maneuver on
two holdup men. At that
time the gunmen, startled by
his refusal, turned and fled.

Service Pins Presented;
Proposed System Shown
A 20-year service pin was
awarded to Robert Ebbe, a
carpenter . at Rogue Valley

sentations at the monthly
board of directors meeting
Thursday.
Also honored with "serv
ice to humanity" . pins were

was given by Mrs. Guches,
chairman of the decorating
committee, outlining the col
or schemes to be followed.
Pillow Television
Building chairman George
Flanagan introduced a new
concept of patient communi
cations to be installed at
Rogue Valley hospital. Called
"Pillow TV," it will enable
patients to operate radio and
television, and to contact the
nurse by pressing a button
on their individual master
control and speaker system.
Patients will have complete
control over picture, volume,
stations and channels of com
bined radio-television set to
be mounted high on the wall.
Through the hand-sized speak
er system, the sound will be
audible to the user only,
eliminating disturbance to
other patients, and giving pri-
